Descripción
Sumario:Verrucous psoriasis is an atypical and rare variant of psoriasis with few cases reported in the literature. It is characterized by the presence of symmetric hypertrophic and verrucous plaques on the limbs and trunk. We present the case of a 63-year-old male patient with a history of vulgar psoriasis for 20 years who was receiving treatment with topical steroids and had developed a verrucous plaque in the distal third of the posterior aspect of the leg 10 years before. We conducted a biopsy of the lesion to confirm or discard the diagnostic impression of squamous cell carcinoma (verrucous). The histopathological study showed changes compatible with verrucous psoriasis ruling out the presence of malignancy.
